The correct answer is that there should never be a reason. It would be like me saying, 'yeah Ben raped that girl, but did you see what she was wearing?' 

"Heat of the moment" is a legal term.  It implies other than premeditated, which Piggy did with probably all of his rapes, especially the one of a coed where his linemen were blocking the door and when she entered the bathroom, "little ben" was already out of his pants.  

Yes, they are both bad and both crimes, but they are not even in the same stratosphere.  The defense you are poorly trying to make is pathetic.
